According to her, the quality and quantity of our sleep determine how healthy or sick we will be, stressing that our body regenerates and repairs itself when we get adequate and quality sleep.
Dr. Durojaiye advised that it is beneficial to have a regular fixed time for sleeping as this helps to regulate the system, thus making regeneration and repair constant and effective.
She added that it is recommended that we flip our mattress once every month if the opportunity to change the mattress has not presented itself to maintain a healthy sleeping posture.

He added: “If you buy from a Mouka source, there is a guarantee that you are not getting a fake mattress because there is a name to be protected.”
